The closest thing I can find is Renee Pagel, a Michigan mom who donated a kidney to the parent of a student, who was then murdered by her husband. That seems a lot more probable.
In Larissa MacFarquhar's 2009 New Yorker piece 'The Kindest Cut,' there's this shocking and improbable tidbit - a woman donates a kidney to a total stranger, only to turn around and try to murder her husband.
While this would be fascinating, it seems to have never happened.
@S_OhEigeartaigh@nickcammarata I think it is mockery, which seems apt, considering that Altman is a very powerful person trying to exercise power over others.
"someone trying to find a way to make things better in a crisis" is a funny way to describe a cynical actor trying to hold on to power so that he can exercise it toward evil ends.
I feel a bit sad seeing the Altman/Murati DMs everywhere. A vulnerable, scared moment for someone trying to find a way to make things better in a crisis. Never meant for the public and now the joke of the day.
We all know how it turned out, and yes the guy's rich & it's of public interest etc. But I do think we treat human dignity too cheaply for famous people, and that makes it easy for us to treat it more cheaply for everyone else too.
@BiIIyD@IsaacKing314 Can you find me an example of non-insane person suggesting that folx be used in place of folks, in general, for social justice reasons?
@IsaacKing314 Though, if anyone was suggesting that widespread adoption of 'folx' instead of 'folks', I agree that seems silly. FWIW I never witnessed that despite years of immersion in Peak Woke
